Obviously we are not comparing Loeb 10 years ago but Loeb 2018 vs 2019.

Similarly to Ogier, Mikkelsen was 2nd fastest in 2017.

So technically (in terms of pace/stage times) Loeb/Mikkelsen drops are bigger that Ogier's. While their teammates have podium pace!!!

My whole point with this comparison is that (some?) 2017+ cars seem to be rather tricky with setup/small changes.
